Planar Hop Spanners for Unit Disk Graphs
نویسندگان
چکیده
The simplest model of a wireless network graph is the Unit Disk Graph (UDG): an edge exists in UDG if the Euclidean distance between its endpoints is ≤ 1. The problem of constructing planar spanners of Unit Disk Graphs with respect to the Euclidean distance has received considerable attention from researchers in computational geometry and ad-hoc wireless networks. In this paper, we present an algorithm that, given a set X of terminals in the plane, constructs a planar hop spanner with constant stretch factor for the Unit Disk Graph defined by X. Our algorithm improves on previous constructions in the sense that (i) it ensures the planarity of the whole spanner while previous algorithms ensure only the planarity of a backbone subgraph; (ii) the hop stretch factor of our spanner is significantly smaller.

On Geometric Spanners of Euclidean Graphs and their Applications in Wireless Networks
We consider the problem of constructing a bounded-degree planar geometric spanner for a unit disk graph modeling a wireless network. The related problem of constructing a planar geometric spanner of a Euclidean graph has been extensively studied in the literature. It is well known that the Delaunay subgraph is a planar geometric spanner with stretch factor ; however, its degree may not be bound...
متن کاملLocal Construction and Coloring of Spanners of Location Aware Unit Disk Graphs
We look at the problem of coloring locally specially constructed spanners of unit disk graphs. First we present a local approximation algorithm for the vertex coloring problem in Unit Disk Graphs (UDGs) which uses at most four times as many colors as an optimal solution requires. Next we look at the colorability of spanners of UDGs. In particular we present a local algorithm for constructing a ...
متن کاملOn Geometric Spanners of Euclidean and Unit Disk Graphs
We consider the problem of constructing bounded-degree planar geometric spanners of Euclidean and unit-disk graphs. It is well known that the Delaunay subgraph is a planar geometric spanner with stretch factor Cdel ≈ 2.42; however, its degree may not be bounded. Our first result is a very simple linear time algorithm for constructing a subgraph of the Delaunay graph with stretch factor ρ = 1 + ...
متن کاملCollective Tree Spanners for Unit Disk Graphs with Applications
In this paper, we establish a novel balanced separator theorem for Unit Disk Graphs (UDGs), which mimics the well-known Lipton and Tarjan’s planar balanced shortest paths separator theorem. We prove that, in any n-vertex UDG G, one can find two hop-shortest paths P (s, x) and P (s, y) such that the removal of the 3-hopneighborhood of these paths (i.e., N G[P (s, x)∪P (s, y)]) from G leaves no c...
متن کاملMetric Dimension for Gabriel Unit Disk Graphs Is NP-Complete
We show that finding a minimal number of landmark nodes for a unique virtual addressing by hop-distances in wireless ad-hoc sensor networks is NPcomplete even if the networks are unit disk graphs that contain only Gabriel edges. This problem is equivalent to Metric Dimension for Gabriel unit disk graphs. The Gabriel edges of a unit disc graph induce a planar O( √ n) distance and an optimal ener...
